BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 48
048 – The Mercenary and The Witch
ADAN STONE.
Three days went by swiftly, and I’ve been on high alert ever since Lucy accidentally made her palm glow red with fire. I was certain Lucien would appear out of nowhere, but so far, it has been calm, which is making me more uneasy.
The censor cameras, which had been custom-built to monitor body
temperature similar to Lucy’s, had already been installed in every border, including the middle of the forest, which
was connected to the neutral forest, and around the packhouse. I had never splurged my own money on something like this, but I didn’t even hesitate to
open my bank account this time. All for
her.
I had never left Lucy alone, and in cases
where I had to be away, my Beta or
Gamma would be with her. And two days
ago, my parents moved to the packhouse under the pretense that my mother wanted to spend time with her, but in reality, I sought help from Dad.
Two Alphas could protect her better than one. I laid out everything I knew about her, and if there was any doubt in me that my father would consider me crazy for protecting a she-demon, it flew out of the window the moment he said they would be moved back to the packhouse.
And Mom didn’t need to be persuaded. I was half expecting she would ask me if I was planning to make Lucy my Luna, and that my answer would be the basis for
whether I could get help from them, but
the question never came.
Maybe they knew the answer already.
I watched from the balcony of my office
in the training building as my father trained Lucy in the cold weather. They were using different sharp weapons,
from the morning stars that she
requested to simple daggers. I could see the amazement on the faces of my
warriors and other people as Lucy used those weapons with skill and speed.
She was a natural warrior, and I had no doubt that if she could just control her fire, she would be excellent at protecting
herself.
‘Alpha, Blade arrived with one female
companion. I was assuming it was the witch. He was overly protective of her and stated that he would only respond to you directly after I asked questions about the
female.’
‘That sounds like Blade. Did you check
the security camera to make sure the body temperature of his companion is not the same as Lucy’s?’
‘I did, even before they reached the northern border. Blade’s temperature
was normal, while the witch’s is different but nowhere near Lucy’s body
temperature.
‘Good. Let them in. I will meet them at
the old packhouse but take them in your
car. Leave their car by the border and let
the men check it thoroughly. If Blade disagrees, tell him it’s Alpha Stone’s
order.’
‘Noted, Alpha,’ Kingston answered, and I immediately cut off our mindlink before
opening one to my father and my Beta.
